Aaron Goldhamer | Denver Litigation Attorney

In the past few years, it has been a pleasure to help a broad range of clients. From helping a widow deal with a complicated and poorly-planned estate that was being administered by hostile in-laws, to exposing fraudulent transfers meant to avoid creditors, to holding an accountant responsible for steering his clients into a Ponzi scheme, no two cases have been alike.

I have built a successful practice by learning from some immensely talented attorneys, working hard to understand the intricacies of Colorado law, taking pride in my written work, and diligently preparing for all hearings, depositions, and trials.

Clients should seek out attorneys who are willing to put in the hard work required to obtain a successful outcome, can think creatively, and are passionate about seeking justice.

Local knowledge--whether it's of the particular rules, the opposing counsel, or a specific judge, mediator, or arbitrator--is important!

In an free phone consultation, I can outline likely claims and defenses based on the information I'm provided, evaluate some strengths and weaknesses in the fact pattern, and discuss potential terms of engagement.

In a free phone consultation, I like to understand the basic facts--the who/what/when/where/why details of a dispute. Additionally, having a copy of any relevant contracts is helpful.

I carefully consider whether to take on each and every case. I do not have a "volume" based practice. Rather, in taking only select matters, I can more effectively focus on the client issues and devote the required time to work up the case.

The most rewarding aspect of my job is the relief I can see on my client's faces when we resolve their matter.

I enjoy soccer, skiing, and cycling.

I am involved in my community, having served on several nonprofit boards and in an elected officer capacity for political groups.
